The justification exists in the presentation of categorical images in regards to specific questioning, within a thread of said nature.
Your thinking of someone interrupting a thread already in existence elsewhere, who’s information is abstracted and based on the left hemispheric ideals, but not actual images of the right.
An example (non nudity): viewtopic.php?f=4&p=2547811#p2547811
This thread would of gone nowhere without intensive use of images. Why? Its a thread about invention, exploiting a informational feedback loop via the frontal eye fields. You see situation, and can take elements and combine them together for a product. I emphasised vision over abstract thought, but with the intention of the final push to modify abstract concepts.
It seems to work, as he was positively responding.
Secondly, don’t disrespect the virtues inherent in unexpected comedic expositions… they are a classical rhetorical tool, very much still valid in logic. I can’t help it if certain personality types or schools of thought insulate themselves from aspects of dialectics, they hardly have a dictatorship over thinking, and I can’t be expected to reduce the scope of response or exhort others to dumb themselves down.
Smashing a walnut with a sledgehammer is a good admonition against excessive use of force, but isn’t advocated in philosophy. Neither Karl Marx or Nietzsche would be respected had they tried to abide by the restraints of like kind and restraints… we oftentimes find differences and going into, through, and past a point, breaking its logic and pushing it to its logical extremes, is valid and preferred. Its a kind of violence to the idea, and a individual who closely associates with it, but we would still be eating nuts on the savanna, never learning to hunt with tools, if we strictly abided to this standard. The rules of debate in parlimentry procedure isn’t easily transferable to philosophy as a whole, and most would find it deeply undesirable in the long run, given a sort of dark age would emerge of the sorts in the movie “Demolition Man”.
This hidden thread (from people not signed in, and warned adult content is involved) could also be used to finally tackle the rampant racism on the boards. We currently lack, or example, the ability to confront racists by posting a range of racial features, such as different ears, and finding a pattern to their idealized and rejected features, and eludicate as to why. Its something we never really tried to do… they can make their claims, and it is largely unsettled, as no scientific inquiry examining how they process information has been tried here. Likewise, congenital birth defects… I did slot of research a while back in cholestoral related birth defects… the children of which are actively discriminated against, and abused and taken advantage of.
Studies have been done on this, but none really by philosophers, just psychologists. They aren’t expected to be as introspective as some of the racists here about their Orient-Observe Scanning Cycles, and how they come to rejection and acceptance.
Likewise, posts on the nature of beauty. Sexual fetishisms. Acceptability of tattoes. Pictures of warzones where massacres have occurred, and how psychological trauma arises, and if international policy us aligned.
These all all pic threads that are legit, can be moderated, but shouldn’t just be slapped up for the Google not machines to pic up.
Attaching it to the psych section, hidden unless your logged in, with warnings to the section is a good idea.
We arevover emphasizing language over images on this site. Einstein admitted some of his best thinking occurred with images, and not words.
